Is it possible to share "ownership" of an iPad?

My friend's mother wants an iPad but her PC died.  She has broadband and a router.  Both her daughters have notebook PCs but do not live nearby.  If one daughter sets up the mother's iPad and router using her notebook, then leaves town, will the iPad and router still work?  Also, could the other daughter take "control" of the iPad and do backups and updates from her notebook PC which is a different PC than the one used to do the initial setup when she is in town?  Or does the original daughter/PC have to do everything for the mother's iPad?
If there was a problem with the iPad and neither daughter was in town, could the Apple Store or a Geek from Best Buy solve it?

Provided the new iPad has iOS 5 or later as its operating system (as it should have) then it can be activated without the need of a computer and backed up via iCloud. All this means that the scenario you describe involving the two daughters is no longer relevant!
Free 90 day Apple technical support is part of the purchase bundle and further support can be had purchased from Apple
A word of caution here; there are rumours of a new iPad to be announced this week so make no rash decisions just yet!

  • Is it possible to share aps between my iPad and iPhone, I have tried several methods yet I still get charged if I download an app I already have on my iPad.  many thanks, Alex

    Is it possible to share apps from my iPad onto my new iPhone 4. I have tried several suggestions from the net but still get charged when I download an app to my phone that is already on my iPad.  Many thanks,  alex

    Greetings Alex,
    You should be able to download the exact same app from the iTunes store to a different device at no extra cost.  Its possible you might be downloading an iPad only version of an app you happen to have on your iPhone although I'm not familiar with an example of this. 
    If you are being charged:
    1. Make sure you are using the same iTunes Store account (AppleID) on both devices.  Your purchases are tied to the AppleID so if you don't use the same one to download the app that you used to buy it the first time,  you'll be charged.
    On the device you originally bought the app in question:  Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    On the device you re-downloaded and were charged on:   Go to Settings > Store -- note the AppleID here
    If these AppleIDs are different then you have your answer.  You are making purchases with two different accounts so logically you've been charged twice.  Decide which AppleID you wish to use from now on and on the device which does not currently have that ID and tap on it in the Store section of the settings and login with the other AppleID.
    If these AppleIDs are the same then something is going wrong in the process.  Contact iTunes Store support email to have them take a peek: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Hope that helps.

  • Still possible to share folio with an iPad to view, without publishing?

    Hi,
    Is it still possible to share a folio from the folio builder panel in InDesign, so that it can be downloaded to one device (iPad) for viewing/testing or is this info out of date? Do I really have to go through all the IOS developer certs and purchasing one single serial number hoopla just to view on a single iPad?
    Any info gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks.

    What would lead you to believe that this has changed?

  • How can I share ownership of a calendar on iCloud?

    We are using iCloud on a small network and would like to share ownership of a calendar so multiple people can send invites?  Is this possible?

    I just found out how to do this by fiddling around.  
    In iCal make sure you have the calendar you'd like to share highlighted in the CALENDER box to the left of the calendar. Then click the drop down at the top "Calendar".  Click on "Share" or "Share Settings"  I can't remember...  sorry.
    This will bring up a dialog box where you'll see the name of the calender you're going to share (you can also edit the name there).  Then you click on "Only the People You Invite"
    and you'll then add the email addresses in the area below that.  There is a little plus sign below that where you can add multiple viewers. 
    So far so good.  I just have to check and make sure the person on the recieving end has set up his iCloud as well (I think).
    hope this helps

  • Is it possible to share a whole volume on my Mac to a PC?

    Here's the situation:
    I primarily use my Mac in my bedroom and sometimes use the PC in the lounge room. They're connected to each other via Ethernet and I've managed to network them at the most basic of levels.
    I can log into my Mac from the PC, but can only see my User folder. And I can log into the PC from my Mac, but can't see any files at all. It's a weird situation. I was wondering though, is it possible to share a whole volume/partition on my Mac (not only my User folder) with the PC? I've tried playing around with the ownership and permissions in the Get Info pane of the volume with no success.

    Try something like Sharepoints its freeware , should be able to share your whole HD out then.
    Get it here ...

  • Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode?

    Is it possible to share 1 bluetooth keypad and 1 mouse pad between two computers in target mode? Grab a drink and let me tell you my story.
    I purchased two computers... an iMac 27" i7 3.4 16GB RAM and a Mac mini 2.3 i5 8 GB RAM. Both have Thunderbolt capability and are in fact connected by thunderbolt. I have 3 problems...
    1. My Mac mini WILL NOT recognize any bluetooth keyboard. Let me back up for clarification. I set my iMac up first. No problems there. I then went on to set up my mac mini. A couple of interesting things happened concering bluetooth activity. First thing is that the keypad, which was already paired with my iMac wouldn't be recognized by the mac mini, and yet my bluetooth mouse which was paired with my iMac became paired with my mac mini and thus wouldn't be recognized by my iMac anymore. I had to go to my back room and dig out my other bluetooth mouse so that my iMac would at least recognize my second mouse. So now I have two "mice"presently. One for the mac mini, the other for the iMac. Thankfully I also had a USB keypad for my mac mini. My bluetooth keypad is still paired with my iMac but won't pair with my mac mini, which brings me to another question....
    2. CAN 1 KEYPAD AND 1 MOUSE PAIR WITH TWO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS SO THAT WHEN I GO INTO TARGET MODE VIA THUNDERBOLT I CAN USE THE SAME KEYPAD AND MOUSE FOR BOTH COMPUTERS? Anybody have some thoughts on that problem?
    3. WHY IN THE WORLD IS MY MOUSE CURSOR DISAPPEARING EVERYTIME I EXIT TARGET MODE VIA PASSWORD AND COMMAND F2. I'm using target mode to access my mac mini. But when I exit target mode to get back into my iMac I'm looking at my iMac screen but I can't see the mouse pointer! I can move the pointer around even though I can't see it. Wierd. And this has apparently been going on for some time with other users for over a year. I am presently completely up to date on Lion updates. Both systems are running 10.7.4. Does anyone have a solution or heard a rumor of a solution coming soon regarding the invisible mouse cursor "curse". I hate having to restart my iMac everytime I exit out of target mode just so I can get my mouse cursor visible again.
    Food for thought.... Wouldn't it be really cool to have a target mode capability to see your other computers desktops in seperate window screens on your main display. You then could go back and forth from each window by just double clicking or by certain key commands. You could drag and drop from desktop to desktop. Tell me this is coming soon.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

    is it possible to share an aperture library with different users using osx server.

    Not really.  You should not be sharing an Aperture library over a network.  It's not designed for that and you'll likely corrupt your library at some point.

  • I have two iTunes accounts on one computer.  Is it possible to share between the two?  If so, how do I do it?

    I have two ITunes accounts on one computer.  One is a classic iPod, the other is for a Nano with a different user.  Is it possible to "share" playlists?  If so, how do I go about doing that?

    videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
    but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

    Hi,
    Is it possible to share only a part of an contact? For example: If you have more nubmers and data for one contact (mostly we do) and would like to send someone only one number and not the rest of contact`s data (personal)? I know that on some other phones this is possible. Thanks for answers.

  • Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?

    Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
    I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
    Thank you!

    You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
    How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
    Some general observations:
    You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
    If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

  • Is it possible to share a book purchased in itunes?

    is it possible to share a book purchased on itunes?

    Only if both devices share the same Apple ID.  We have two iPhones and two iPads in my house.  All are on the same Apple ID, so we can share all apps, books, magazines, etc.

  • Is it possible to share a sequence between computers and different projects?

    Is it possible to share a sequence between computers and different projects without copying the sequence, closing the project, opening the new project and pasting in the sequence. This workflow is to slow when it takes 40 minutes for Premierer Pro CC to load a 4tb project. Just this simple thing would take 80 minutes.

    Okey, I found out how to import the seaquens, it is actually possible to make that choice after you click to import seaquence. But the problem is i do not want to import the media again. I already have that media in the other projekt. And once importingit it is offline and when I want to delete it it want to remove things from the timeline defeting the purpus. Is there a way to get aroun the fact that the program wants to import the media with the timeline.
    The thing is that I want to editing on two computer. On the second computer I will edit just a few scenes that I will later bring back in to the big project that has all the material. I have been copying the material for a few scenes to another external drive and also copied the big projekt and then opened this on my laptop. Then I made all the missing material offline while the projekt found the existing material. I editid the material. Copied the projekt and opened it on my stationary editing computer and copied the timeline with the scene that I had been working on while the media was loading, then shut down the project and opend the old big projekt and pasted the timeline in to the project.
    Is there an easier way?
    It would be nice to be able to import the timeline (without importing the media) when I have the program opened. Since it takes 40 minutes for my media to load.
